Raise an emperor as a villain

A few days later, Ming Jue went to Baihu Temple to worship the Buddha. Because it was a temporary action, it was not done in a big way. He only brought a few concubines, a group of servants, and a few ministers closest to him.

"Buddha blesses, I wish that the country will be prosperous, the people will be safe and the people will be prosperous, and the fortune of the country will be prosperous, and there will be no more..."

The emperor brought people to worship the Buddha, and after adding sesame oil, he stayed alone in the Daxiong Hall, not only the concubines and slaves, but also the monks in the temple.

After all the people left and the door of the main hall was slammed shut, only Ming Jue was left behind, the young emperor was willing to confide his heart to the statue of Buddha.

"It has been five years since I ascended the throne. In the past five years, I have purged the court, cleaned up officials and corrupt officials, and suppressed rebellion to take over the imperial power. It can be regarded as a small achievement. But my hands are also stained with blood. Among the dead, some Damn corrupt officials, there are also innocent people who have to be sacrificed, and even my brothers, mother and queen.

It is said that I am the son of heaven, but in fact I am just a loner, what is so great about it?As long as the heart is dark enough, the means are ruthless enough, and a little luck is added, anyone can become the emperor.What kind of divine destiny is just a fig leaf for power.

The palace is strife, father and son are fighting each other, and brothers are against each other, all because of power.All I have now is only what the emperor can have. If there is no throne, what else can I have left?

Buddha, if you really have a spirit, can you tell me, after I die, will I go to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, or fall into the Avici Hell? "Ming Jue asked as he looked at the tall and solemn Buddha statue.

"Your majesty is naturally blessed with long life and eternal life. Now that your majesty is in the prime of his life, why do you think about the affairs of the future? The theory of gods and ghosts is nothingness. The emperor is the son of heaven in the world. Even if it really exists, it cannot be controlled by the emperor. .” Lu Hengxiu came out from behind the prayer flags on the side.

"In short, when did you hide there?" It was obvious that everyone had been ordered to leave, not to mention that Lu Hengxiu, as a foreign minister, hadn't followed from the beginning.

"I didn't hide there from the beginning. The emperor brought his ladies to worship Buddha, so I went to the presiding officer to ask questions. Just now, I came in from a side door at the back of the hall, and there was no one guarding the door when I came in." , I didn't know that the emperor was meditating, so I walked in without authorization."

Ming Jue listened and said angrily: "These guards are so ineffective, they missed a side door for people to take advantage of. Fortunately, it was you, not the assassin, who came in. When I go back, I must punish them severely."

"The emperor is still in the Buddhist hall, how can he speak lightly?" Lu Hengxiu walked beside Ming Jue, and knelt down on a futon for worshiping Buddha.

"Buddha, what the emperor said just now is for the sake of the country and the country. If the gods have to punish the sins, then the believers will bear it all." After finishing speaking, Lu Hengxiu put his hands together and said "Amitabha". How many.

Seeing this, Ming Jue's heart moved, and he sat cross-legged on a futon beside Lu Hengxiu.

"Jane really believes in Buddhism?"

"Usually burn more incense and don't dare to pray for blessings, but it can always offset some sins." Lu Hengxiu kowtowed again before he finished his ceremony.

"In short," Ming Jue said as he pushed Lu Hengxiu into his arms, "If you really have a wish, you might as well ask me instead of worshiping Buddha. Maybe I will be more effective than Buddha."

"Your Majesty," Lu Hengxiu made a silent motion with his fingers, "Don't be disrespectful to the Buddha."

Ming Jue held Lu Hengxiu's finger with one hand, grabbed it and put it in his mouth to suck.Lu Hengxiu quickly pulled out his finger as if he had been licked by the flames.

"Since the emperor doesn't believe in Buddhism, why does he still come to worship Buddha? If he is so dishonest, it will be easier to offend the Buddha."

"I dreamed about my mother yesterday. I dreamed that she was hanged in the West Buddha Hall. The strange thing is that I didn't see her death, so why did I dream of her?" Ming Jue's face darkened when he said this. Some.

"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, there are ministers here." Lu Hengxiu stretched out his arms to embrace Ming Jue, comforting him like a child.

"It's really not because I'm afraid of her tragic situation, nor because she's coming to me to claim my life, but I just woke up and thought about it. My father, brother, and brother have all left me one by one. I'm really a real lonely family. What I have now is that cold and hard throne."

"No, the emperor still has humble ministers. Your majesty, the minister will definitely not leave. Unless one day the emperor orders the minister to be expelled from the capital and ordered not to return, or the minister dies, otherwise the minister will definitely not leave the emperor." Before the Buddha I promised not to leave you, no matter you are the emperor or whoever, you are just my favorite Ming Jue.

"That's right, well said. I only have you, and only you truly belong to me. That's why I won't let you go. Even if you die in a few decades, I want you to be buried beside the emperor's mausoleum. "Ming Jue hugged Lu Hengxiu tightly as he spoke, as if the person in front of him was really his last bit of warmth.

Lu Hengxiu hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to hug Mingjue back.

The Buddha said: Those who hold on to love and desire are like holding a torch in their hands, and they must have the pain of burning hands.

However, people who walk in the dark and cold night, how can they not take good care of it when they encounter a little warm light. Compared with the warm candlelight, a little hand pain is nothing.

When I went out again, I found that there was already a heavy snowfall outside the hall, and it was very beautiful.

Baihu Temple is located on a distant mountain in the outskirts of Beijing. It is already dark and the mountain road is slippery, so it is inappropriate to go back to the palace.Therefore, Ming Jue ordered to stay at Baihu Temple for one night and return to the palace the next day.

After the order was passed on, the commander of the imperial army who accompanied him immediately led the guards to set up defenses, and the monks in the temple made arrangements to allocate meditation rooms to the nobles in the palace.

Seeing that she had a chance to be alone with Ming Jue, the Queen came up and asked, "Your Majesty, the little master in the temple said that the Zen room is tense, do you think it is possible to have a room with my concubine tonight?"

The tension in the Zen room is just an excuse, no matter how nervous you are, you can't miss the residence of the emperor.Ming Jue heard what the queen meant, but Lu Hengxiu was still standing behind him, how could he agree?

"Buddhist temples are pure places that cannot be defiled. It is better for me to live alone. If the meditation room is really not enough, the empress might as well live in the same room with the concubine. Anyway, you should be very happy on weekdays."

The queen's expression darkened after hearing this, and she had no choice but to leave.

The Zen room where the emperor lived that night

"Jane, just call out, I like to hear your voice, don't hold back your voice."

"Hmm... um... Your Majesty... Didn't Your Majesty say... Buddhist temples... Buddhist temples are pure places that cannot be defiled? Ah..."

"That's the rhetoric of the Queen of Zhenyi, and it doesn't count for you." Another round of conquest began.

The author has something to say:

The emperor says one thing and does another
